Panic Buying Over Yet?

[Boriqua]

I thought I over bought. But now I'm glad I did. I have enough powder, primers and projos to last me 10 lifetimes.

I thought I was more than well covered but now I am questioning my commitment ... should have stocked up deeper.

I am not worried about having enough ammo to beat back the hordes of pasty, out of shape, antifa mobs but ... I really enjoy shooting for shootings sake as does the wife and it would be a bummer if we couldnt go at least twice a month to send some bullets down range because I couldn't produce anymore range fodder.

No where near panic mode yet but .. I sure would like to see primers at the online shops again. Makes me a bit nervous. I can get bullets and powder and have plenty brass especially since I shot a lot of revolver and you recover 100% of your brass but ... primers are no where and guess who the leading producer of lead is

1. China

Mine production: 2.4 million MT

China produced 2.4 million MT of lead last year, up slightly from its 2016 output of 2.34 million MT. Interestingly, the increase came even as the country suffered mine and smelter closures.

According to Reuters, those ongoing shutdowns across China contributed to the lead price rise at the end of 2017, and production of the metal is expected to fall further in the future due to pollution problems and environmental inspections. Stockpiles have been dwindling as a result, and production numbers could be lower in 2018.

I think it's crazy that this happens every 4-5 years. In between ammo & guns hits a low point before it spikes up again.
